How do I force doctrine to reload the data from the database?

Question

I'm using doctrine/mongodb 1.0.0-BETA1 in a symfony2.1 install.

So i'm trying to force my repository to call data from my database instead of using the object it has cached.

$audit = $dm->getRepository("WGenSimschoolsBundle:Audit")->findOneById("xxxx");

.... do something somewhere to change the object ....

At this point if I call

$audit = $dm->getRepository("WGenSimschoolsBundle:Audit")->findOneById("xxxx");

The audit data hasn't changed. It still has the object it originally fetched. If I try to

$dm->refresh($audit) 

I get the same thing. Is there anyway for me to go back to the database for the value?

Answer 1

Have you flushed your changes to the $audit object?

$audit = $dm->getRepository("WGenSimschoolsBundle:Audit")->findOneById("xxxx");
//do something somewhere to change the object
$dm->flush();

Every time you do a findBy(...) or findOneBy(...) it actually fetches a new document from the DB. (you should see the query in the Symfony profiler)

With a find() instead, it will fetch the document from his internal proxy cache. The Documents stay in the proxy cache until you call the $dm->clear() method.
